I hate this quote today, from Mando..

"The Dolphins are not today a contender for any type of championship. Sorry if that offends your fan sensibilities, but that's the truth. The club has had four consecutive non-playoff, losing seasons. The team has multiple needs. The quarterback has not yet proven he's elite. The team plays in the same division as the New England Patriots. And the last time the teams met, the Patriots dismantled the Dolphins in a season they swept the Dolphins and won five more games than Miami".

I know there will be some that agree (damn you!) but I don't and even if you secretly did, why as a Fins fan would you say it out loud, truth or not.. To me, he's a jerk!

"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

Try hating the people in charge -- who made the quote true -- instead.

Why, I can smile, and murder while I smile,
And cry 'Content' to that which grieves my heart,
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears,
And frame my face to all occasions.
I can add colours to the chameleon,
Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,
And set the murderous Machiavel to school.
Can I do this, and cannot get a crown?

I mean yea, our holes are at the key positions in today's game (WR, CB, T, DE). I think our 7 wins from last year are deceiving because the schedule was a joke along with the rest of the AFC. But this draft has me excited; I think we can make a playoff push, hopefully have week 16 and 17 actually matter, but probably not serious contenders quite yet.

However, when's the last time we had this many resources to be able to improve by a wide margin in a matter of one offseason? We have the money to sign Wallace and Winston. That's two of the biggest five needs plugged right there. Then, five picks in the first three rounds. This draft is deep at pass rusher, cornerback and tight end. There are the other three.

There won't be nearly as many holes on the roster heading into opening day as there were last year. Add in continuity on the coaching staff with no turnover, and it all comes down to how much Ryan Tannehill can develop in year two.

I don't care one iota who we're in a division with. This has nothing to do with the Patriots. The Dolphins need to work on improving the Dolphins, and for the first time in a long time it seems like we can make a serious jump in one offseason from a 6-10/7-9 type team.
